Famous Greeks... or are they???

[AlphaFrog]

When did this thread become the "Copy and paste the famous members from your GLO website" thread?

Trust me, no one cares...and even if they did they could go to www.GLO.com and find out.

Agreed. At least put like just the most prominent dozen or so. I'm not going to read through all of that.

Or go back to the title of the thread and the original post and see that this thread was never meant to be a place to list famous members, regardless of whether the list was only 12 or 12,000:

So, if you want to find out if a certain celeb is Greek, post here and let your fellow GC'ers help you investigate.

That's what I meant -

I know it turned into that about page 3, but I don't really want to wade through that garbage to find the actual information.

AlphaFrog, agree, it goes without saying that each of us as GLOs have illustrious members.

That is simply because We As Glos are Special!

*sweet*dreams*

Are they even members to begin with?

I saw a lot of webpages that said both are KKGs, but if it's not on the official HQ website, then maybe they're not really members. I don't pay attention to HQ websites that often so I don't know if they were even listed there before.

Yes, Candice Bergen was a member of the Beta Alpha chapter at UPenn. It is my understanding she resigned membership by choice within the last 15 years link

Mariska Hargitay was also a member of the Gamma Xi chapter at UCLA but was dismissed at some point. link

Even alumnae can be dismissed or resign membership, just as active members can, for a myriad of reasons.

As OTW said, the most complete resource for notable members is the organization webpage.

Yes and no, if HQ doesn't post their names on the public site and you don't know their maiden name, then someone "famous" might not be found out so easily.

I'm more impressed when initiated member continue to be active as much as they can.

I'm definitely not impressed when someone pointedly doesn't want to be reminded they initiated. Unfortunately, it's frowned about hit them over the head with whatever they signed.

That is probably true for many organizations, but I know that AOII discourages the listing of prominent members and therefore does not list any on our IHQ webpage.
